The Masked Singer Christmas special line-up: Who are the characters?
The perfect show to wrap up the Christmas period.
The Masked Singer is getting into the festive spirit, with a brand new Christmas special ready to entertain audiences.
Ahead of its full series return in 2026, ITV is hosting a one-off special of the nation's favourite guessing game. As always, four famous faces will be taking to the stage and singing Christmas favourites, all while their identities are concealed.
Judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Maya Jama will all be back to try and guess who is behind the elaborate masks.
Delivering clues to the panel and spreading Christmas cheer, also joining the show will be a host of pantomime icons, Fairy Godmother (Su Pollard), The Dame (Christopher Biggins), Wicked Stepmother (Lesley Joseph) and Prince Charming (Basil Brush).
So, which characters are taking part in this year's Christmas special - and can you guess which celebrities hide behind them?

The Masked Singer Christmas special: Full character line-up
Mistletoe
Pucker up…it’s Mistletoe! Dressed as a juicy pair of lips with a bunch of mistletoe sprouting with from their head, this celebrity is hoping they'll be able to impress the judges without having to plant a kiss on them.
Goose A-Laying
They'll send you on a wild Goose chase, it's Goose A-Laying! Dressed in this outfit, this celeb looks to be straight out of a panto, but will they be used to the stage or be dazzled by the bright lights? Only time will tell!
Figgy Pudding
Pudding their best foot forward.. its Figgy Pudding! While their glittery dessert outfit looks absolutely delectable, will their performance be just as tasty as the real thing?
Santa's Sack
Their presents is requested… it’s Santa’s Sack! With possibly the easiest outfit to move around, thanks to it essentially just being a red velvet cape – albeit a bit top heavy with that present on top – this celeb is sure to put on a show to remember.
But will their performance be just what we asked for this Christmas, or a lump of coal?
The Masked Singer Christmas special airs on Friday 26th December at 7:30pm.
